Welcome to the Southwest Tyrone English
(SwTE) website.Here
you'll find information on the traditional rural dialect of English
spoken in the area south of Omagh in County Tyrone, particularly around
the 'towns' of Dromore, Fintona and Seskinore. This
little-known dialect developed as a result of contact between
varieties of English, Scots and Irish (Gaelic), and it provides a
unique insight into the origins and nature of English in Ireland.

This website has been put together by Dr Warren Maguire, a
lecturer in English Language at the University of Edinburgh and a
native speaker of SwTE.
